The Palestine Human Rights Campaign (PHRC) was established during the build-up to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and support for the new organisation was greatly strengthened by subsequent events, and particularly by the massacres at Sabra and Chatilla.

Since 1982, the PHRC has become the most prolific and most active campaigning organisation in Australia on the issue of Palestine. We aim to build an effective campaign, organising protests, political lobbying and raising public awareness.

Principles

We are an independent, non-governmental and non-party political organisation with members from many communities across Australia - and increasingly throughout the world.

Through our publications (including this site) the PHRC provide a source of accurate and reliable information on the Palestine-Israel conflict and the social and political conditions within Palestine. To this end we also aim to build real contacts between Palestinian people and those who support them.
